Brandee Elise Kurth died Tuesday morning, December 6th, 2011 , at
Andover, Kansas in skilled nursing and rehabilitation from grave illness
onsetting in the spring of 2011. On August 13th, 2011, she was
airlifted to Via Christi-St. Francis and was discharged from initial
emergency hospitalization on August 23, 2011; however, a second
emergency hospitalization at St. Francis was required on September 3,
2011 and she remained hospitalized thereafter until October 3, 2011 .

Her condition improved slightly enough just prior to her second
discharge for her direct transfer for admission to Victoria Falls,
Andover. She remained there until her death Tuesday from the illness,
diagnosed as terminal at St. Francis before her discharge.

With the progression of the illness arose a wondrous new spirit of
utmost beauty, charity and humor. Her efforts to battle and overcome
the illness were overflowing with profound courage and humility. There
were no complaints or expressions of self-pity despite horrendous pain
and suffering. The turmoil engulfing her prior to the illness
surrounded her even after the diagnosis, but the new spirit that she had
become was at peace in its midst.

Brandee was born November 18, 1978 to Tammie E. Lee-Kurth in
Liberal, Kansas. She is survived by her Mother, her Father, Gerald
(Jerry) L. Kurth and one (1) sibling of the home, Jerron K. Kurth. Her
